In you, O G-d , I have taken refuge;
let me never be put to shame;
deliver me in your righteousness.
Turn your ear to me,
come quickly to my rescue;
be my rock of refuge,
a strong fortress to save me.
Since you are my rock and my fortress,
for the sake of your name lead and guide me.
(Psalm 31:1-3, NIV)

And the one who sat there had the appearance of jasper and carnelian. A rainbow, resembling an emerald, encircled the throne. The twentyfour elders fall down before the one who sits on the throne, and worships that one who lives for ever and ever. They lay their crowns before the throne and say: “You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being.”
